The correct quote is "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast" from the play "The Mourning Bride" by William Congreve.
The well-known phrase comes from the play The Mourning Bride written by William Congreve (1697) However, the correct phrase is actually, "Music has charms to soothe a savage breast," although it is often misquoted as, "Music hath charms to soothe a savage beast,"
The song that godey's child-friend wrote for darkrai on the leaf flute. People thought darkrai was a"Savage Beast" and that song (mentioned as "music") was writen by darkrai's only friend. It makes darkrai feel important and liked. So, if you look at it in a certain way, it is kind of "taming the savage beast." It's ok if you didn't get it at first. In a way, the whole movie was about that phrase!
The Bible does not say this.William Congreve wrote a play, The Mourning Bride (1697) and this line has become famous."Musick has charms to soothe a savage breast," which is the first line of the play, spoken by Almeria in Act I, Scene I.This is often rendered as: "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast" or even savage beast.
